Redi Edge broadhead sharpener??
« on: February 15, 2013, 11:05:00 AM »
I see they have a sharpener that is supposed to be 15 Degree. Anyone try these is that too low of an angle for say a simmons? I tried one of these years ago but felt it was at too high of an angle.  Thanks. BILL

I love mine.  Works great on my 2 blade broadheads.  Also great form touching up my skinning knife during butchering.  Dick

I've got the regular one and it works terrific on Zwickeys.

I think I also have the one you're talking about that's 15 degrees. It was supposed to work on Snuffers but I've found the blades on the bigger Snuffers to be a bit to wide to make contact w/ the angle on that cutting surface.

The standard is advertised as 19*...that is a very thin edge, and 15* would be thinner yet...

Very sharp...going in, but I learned the hard way it dulled up at 19* going thru hide and meat and came out pretty dull!

I went to 25* for a more durable angle...

YMMV
The words "Child" and "terminal illness" should never share the same sentence! Those who care-do, others question!
